A frog he lived in a pond, O! A pond, O! He warbled a plaintive rondo Of brekekekex koax! The other frogs thought itsplendid, Mostsplendid!Applauding him when he ended With brekekekex koax!When over the hill And over the dale There sounded the trill Of a nightingale, And the Frog declared, as the frogs knew well, "It's the famous vocalist Philomel It's the vocalist Philomel.""Thatthing," Said he, "Can't sing like me It's only her place at the top of the tree, For depth of feelin she wholly lacks, Sing brekekekex koax, koax!One night with evrything still, O! All still, O! He climbed up a slanting willow Oh, brekekekex koax!! He sang in a rather wrong key, The wrong key! Delighting a neighbouring donkey With a brekekekex koax! Hepricked up his ears Excessively long, Affected to tears By the tender song, And he said he never had heard that tone In anyone's voice except his own! In any voice but his own!"Abird," Said he, "Absurd Would be, For no one can sing but the frog and me, And even his voice on the high note cracks Sing brekekekex koax Koax!"But an owl flew out from a hole, O! A hole, O! On hearing the froggie's solo Of brekekekex koax! The frog by vanity made dense, Yes, made dense, Waschanting a final cadence Of brekekekex koax Now anowl likes eggs, And an owl likes mice, But he thinks frog's legs are extremely nice! He made a swoop with an open throat, And nobody heard the frog's top note! No nobody heard the note!"Tuwhit Tuwhoo! That bit Will do!" And he went for another frog or two So the chorus vanished like jumping Jacks, With brekekekex koax! koax! With brekekekex koax!
